    SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT
AGREEMENT

     

    THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT
AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made effective
as of the 16th day of July, 2008 by and among TASTY BAKING COMPANY, a
Pennsylvania corporation (“Company”), the direct and
indirect subsidiaries of the Company from time to time parties to the Credit
Agreement (as defined below) (the “Subsidiary Borrowers” and with
the Company, collectively, the “Borrowers”), each lender from
time to time party to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a
“Lender”), and CITIZENS BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA, as
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (the
“Agent”).

    


    BACKGROUND

     

    A.   Borrowers,
Lenders and Agent have previously entered into a certain Credit Agreement dated
September 6, 2007, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit
Agreement dated December 12, 2007 (as amended and as may be further amended,
supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant
to which, inter
alia, Agent and
Lenders agreed to extend to Borrowers certain credit facilities subject to the
terms and conditions set forth therein.

     

    B.   Borrowers,
Lenders and Agent have agreed to amend the terms of the Credit Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

     

    C.   Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the
meanings set forth therefor in the Credit Agreement.

     

    NOW THEREFORE, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

     

    1.   Fixed
Asset Revolving Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, including without limitation Sections
2.05 and 4.04 thereof, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Amendment, each Lender severally agrees to make Fixed Asset Loans on a
revolving basis to Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the
period from and including the date hereof to December 31, 2009 (the “Fixed Asset Revolving Loan
Advance Period”), in an outstanding amount not to exceed such Lender’s
Commitment of Fixed Asset Loans for an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) at any time (the “Fixed Asset Revolving Loan
Sublimit”).  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that after giving
effect to any Fixed Asset Loan made under the Fixed Asset Revolving Loan
Sublimit, the aggregate outstanding amount of such loans shall reduce the
Aggregate Commitments for Fixed Asset Loans to be made available to Borrowers on
a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Within the limits of each Lender’s
Commitment for Fixed Asset Loans, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, Borrowers may borrow and reborrow under the Fixed Asset Revolving Loan
Sublimit without payment of any penalty or premium until the expiration of the
Fixed Asset Revolving Loan Advance Period.  Upon expiration of the
Fixed Asset Revolving Loan Advance Period, all Fixed Asset Loans will, at
Borrowers’ option, be immediately due and payable or be deemed to be advanced as
non-revolving Fixed Asset Loans and automatically reduce the Aggregate
Commitments for Fixed Asset Loans to be made available to Borrowers on a
dollar-for-dollar basis.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2.   Conditions
of Fixed Asset Loans under Fixed Asset Revolving Loan
Sublimit.  The obligation of each Lender to honor any Request
for Credit Extension of a Fixed Asset Loan to be made under the Fixed Asset
Revolving Loan Sublimit is subject to the following conditions
precedent:

     

    2.1  Except as
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, Agent shall have received and
approved a Fixed Asset Loan Notice duly executed on behalf of Borrowers with
such information and supporting documentation as Agent may require, including
without limitation:

     

    (a)  a copy of
the applicable invoices, purchase orders, certificates of delivery, certificates
of installation and other documentation related to the particular items of Navy
Yard Equipment as Agent may reasonably require and evidence, as necessary, that
the requested Borrowing was not covered by prior requests for advances under the
Fixed Asset Loans, the PIDC Financing, the MELF Financing, the Job Bank Term
Loans or any grants received by Borrowers;

     

    (b)  a duly
executed Certificate of Advance in the form of Exhibit L attached to
the Credit Agreement;

     

    (c)  evidence
that the amount to be funded under such Borrowing shall not exceed the
installment amount then due under the applicable purchase order, invoice, or
other documentation for the applicable item of Navy Yard Equipment;
and

     

    (d)  if the
Borrowing is to pay an installment due upon delivery or installation of an item
of Navy Yard Equipment, evidence that the item is fully insured as required
under Section
6.07 of the Credit Agreement.

     

    2.2  Borrowers
shall immediately apply the proceeds of any and all advances of the PIDC
Financing and the MELF Financing to reduce the then outstanding principal
balance of advances under the Fixed Asset Revolving Loan Sublimit.

     

    2.3  Lenders
shall have no obligation to make any Fixed Asset Loan advances under the Fixed
Asset Revolving Loan Sublimit which would cause the aggregate outstanding amount
of all advances of Fixed Asset Loans to exceed $55,000,000.

     

    2.4  Borrowers
shall have paid all fees and expenses then due and payable and required to be
paid by pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

     

    2.5  Advances
under the Fixed Asset Revolving Loan Sublimit will accrue interest on the same
terms and conditions as Fixed Asset Loans under the Credit Agreement and be
payable as provided thereunder.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2.6  Each
Request for Credit Extension of a Fixed Asset Loan to be made under the Fixed
Asset Revolving Loan Sublimit shall be subject to Agent’s review and approval
and the proceeds of all advances under the Fixed Asset Revolving Loan Sublimit
shall be used by Borrowers in accordance with Section
3 below.

     

    3.   Use of
Proceeds of Fixed Asset Revolving Loan Sublimit.  Borrowers
shall use the proceeds of the Fixed Asset Loans made under the Fixed Asset
Revolving Loan Sublimit as interim financing prior to the funding of the PIDC
Financing and MELF Financing (i) to pay for certain costs related to the
purchase and installation of bakery equipment (ovens and related equipment) at
the Borrowers’ Navy Yard Project in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania in
accordance with the Line Item Budget and Disbursement Schedule and (ii) to pay
for the issuance of letters of credit in connection with the purchase of certain
of the Navy Yard Equipment in accordance with the Line Item Budget and
Disbursement Schedule.

     

    4.   Other
References.  All references in the Credit Agreement and all the
Loan Documents to the term “Loan Documents” shall mean the
Loan Documents as defined therein and this Amendment and any and all other
documents executed and delivered by Borrowers pursuant to and in connection
herewith.
